Chestnut Restoration Tour: Looking up at a large surviving American chestnut in Reading, ME

This year’s annual meeting in South Portland, Maine on October 6-7, was a well-attended and hugely successful event. Because so much took place over the course of a few days, we thought it would be nice to share photos from the various educational sessions, special presentations, Dinner and Awards Program, and the Chestnut Restoration Tour. After all, “a picture is worth a thousand words.” Enjoy!

The return of the American chestnut to its former niche in the Appalachian hardwood forest ecosystem is a major restoration project that requires a multi-faceted effort involving members and volunteers, research, sustained funding, and most importantly, a sense of the past and hope for the future.
